    Completely forgot about this one and it's only 10 days away.

    This has the makings to be a very good fight. Burns is the favourite, but he has a very tough fight on his hands. It's Mitchell's second shot at the WBO lightweight title after being soundly beaten by Michael Katsidis back in 2010. Burns had his best night in the ring when he beat Katsidis to win the WBO lightweight belt back in May this year. This could very well be a 12 round humdinger of a fight and I can't wait :hammert:

    Who you guys leaning towards?

    Burns via UD, or late stoppage.

    All depends on how Mitchell approaches the fight. If he falls behind early on the cards Burns has a great chance to stop him

    Could see Mitchell taking a few of the opening rounds but Burns being the bigger man slowly discourages him and wears him down stopping him around the 10th-11th. Quite similar styles. Both like to establish their jab and both are fond of a left hook.

    I can't.
    Box Nation is not available from my provider. I'll probably head into a scaldy pub on O'Connell st

    Burns is a nice fella and all, but I really hope Mitchell wins. He'll have the edge in natural ability and speed is on his side so he definitely has a good chance.

    Aye. Can't see how it won't be. Think Mitchell might get a hiding; not sure why, just a feeling.

    Can't be dealing with trying to watch two fights. Have decided to watch this one and record the Frampton fight to watch afterwards.
